That reminds of the cout case where Dee Snider basically said if your wife is interpreting our music as “dirty”, that’s a problem with your wife not the music.

without realizing access was only granted through a temporary license.

That phrasing has me concerend. Does this also cover the services being shut down?

“This is a permanent licence until we go bankrupt and you can’t access the content anymore”

Purchase/buy should mean you get a downloadable DRM free file. And thing else is a rental.

untrue

You took this out of context and have yet to provide a single example. I said by law we all have equal rights and opportunities. In reality, that is obviously not the case, but not do to laws.

There is actually a lot more extra help granted to white people especially the well off than will ever go to black people.

Where the fuck is my extra help? The well off created the systems to keep them well off, and the rest of us get to stay poor. Unless you can change that, we’re all fucked.

There is a higher proportion of white people in Harvard now who wouldn’t have made it purely on merit than any other race.

I’d like to compare that to the number of rejected black students as well. Looking at Harvard’s site, the number of black students accepted to Harvard is sigifinatly less than white students. Partially due to the fact theres a significantly higher white population in the nation, unless that difference goes away, statiscally we will never see an equal amount of white people and black people in the same “space”. I wasn’t able to find the diversity statitics for applications, I’d love to see how that compares to the admitted students. I won’t fault Harvard if more whites get in because that how numbers work. To be clear, that’s from a purly statistical point of view. If anyone gets accepted/rejected specficaly because of their skin color, that’s is a problem.

You actually largely can’t you would end up living with the hobos on the cardboard if you without any disability decided not to bust your fucking ass. / 80 years ago jobs that paid 50k didn’t require 100K in debt while houses cost $400k.

We all bust our asses and people still can’t go to collage without loans or buy a house, that’s not a race specific issue.

You are basically a KKK member without a hood.

Why would you make light of the atrocities made by the KKK? The KKK were murdering blacks out of pure hatred. Not once in any of my comments did I suggest any kind of violence. If your arguments reduce into insane accusations, how am I supposed to take anything you say seriously?

I apologize, that question was certainly poorly thought out and too aggressive. I’m purposely challenging our differences, and I did push too far with that one, being that the answer is obvious. We’re definitely going too far into this on a skyrim shitpost meme (suprised the thread hasn’t been nuked yet), but I shall continue the discourse.

My point is that legally speaking, whites and blacks have equal rights and the same opportunities available. In fact, we’re creating all kinds of aid systems specifically to help them. So what I’m trying to pry at, is to find what in the current system is failing them.

Another point I’ve been pressing, is that skin color alone should not be the basis for aid. If some one needs help, help them. No need to ask about race, sex, ancenstory, religion, hair color, etc. - just help them.

Yes our nation’s ancestors have treated blacks beyond horribly, the more recent ones have begun to right that. Unfortuanly it is an extremely slow process to beat the predjuduce out of a few hundred million people. Considering the progress over the last 200 years, massive improvements have been made, with alot of it made in the past 60. It now up to us, the current generation to continue the progress foward. However, many black families are still stuck where they were in the 1970s. Clearly the current systems are not helping, despite all the aid given to them.

It is my opion, they are being helped in a way that doesn’t encourage actaully finical independance. This could be part of why they’re still lagging so far behind some other miniorties, such as Asians. I went into it a few comments ago, but its basically “why work harder for less, when I can live off government aid.” Asian/Ellis Island era European immigrants didn’t have the same aid, and 80 years later Asians are among the most successful groups, or at least average.

To me it’s like we’re saying “here have just enough money so you’ll shut up and stay where you are. If you save up good, maybe your grandkids can go to collage - which is what we are seeing now. (By the way don’t get sick or your whole savings will disappear).”

If our government really wanted to help, they’d fund the schools, clear out the gangs, help people fix up their homes so maybe they sell for good price, tear down all the condemed buildings to build better community housing or something for jobs. And lastly, to bring us back my original scolorship comment, fix the fucked up student loan system that fucks over all american equally.

Racism is a thing among individuals, but its not baked into our laws like it used to be. Individuals do treat poc poorly, and that is not good. Those that do deserve punishment.

Name one inequality that make a poc “less equal” than others? They both can go to school, they get the same jobs, they hold elected postions, they can even become president.

Thank you for a proper replay.

Deep rooted inequalities and systemic racism contribute to this.

Please explain the current inequalities black and ethic minorities face. If this a major point of the article, it needs to be defined and example needs to be given.

Furthermore, this can lead to differences in employment outcomes between white and BME students long after graduation.

Well, yes if you don’t finish collage that’s going to affect employment long term.

In the majority of cases, these loans will not cover their living costs and this is why 67% of students now have to work part-time while they study

That issue is not limited to people of color, whites have the same problem. The student debt issue is another problem, but its fucked up for everyone.

If you cannot rely on the bank of Mum & Dad,

Why does it seem like it is assumed every white person has generations of generational wealth built up? A lot whites, don’t have parental banks either. Who’s helping them?

Fundamentaly a scholoship that says “must be black to apply” is excluding a large group of people solely based on skin color. A poor white kid and a poor black could grow up in the same house and both are going to end up in a mountain of debt, but one of them gets a little more help because they happen to have a different skin color.

First, think you for a proper reply.

By the time they became equal everything was owned and they were already cast into poverty.

What about all the immigrant families from the 1900s? By the time they moved over “everything” was owned and they too were cast into poverty. There seems to be a belief that if your skin color is white, you are immeditatly have generational weatth, when that simply is not true.

Honestly they deserve reparations.

How do you figure that out? There’re blacks finding on out one of their grandparents decended form slaves owners. Do they have to pay reparations, do they get half reparations? What about an immigrant who moved from Europe 20 years ago, do they pay reparations too? How about the Asians who were forced into internment camps during ww2, (they seem to doing alright after 80 years). Unfortunatly, I don’t see any way to figure out “who deserves what”. Frankly, if a child isn’t responsible for their parents crimes, why are whites being asked to take responsibitly for their great-great-great-great grandparents crimes? I will say, current communities (mostly the poor urban ones) deserves a lot of reparations from the politioms that are failing them, not the average white Joe.

They deserve as much help as we can give them.

The gov. needs to fix how we are giving people help. It seems that current help doesn’t actually encourage independent finical success. They way the aid is handed out based on income, a lot of people find they get less money than if they did work or got a raise. Let’s say the gov gives you 1k a month, you make federal min wage $7.25, work 40hrs and make $290 a week. Your total for the month(4weeks) is $2160 (pre-tax). That’s a fair amount. Let’s say get a raise, to $10, that $400 a week, but because your making more your aid also decreases. You’re making $440 more, it seems fair to drop your aid to $700 a month, so now your taking home $2300. That’s a nice increase, until you account for taxes. That aid isn’t taxed like wages, if at all. A lot of times, after taxes, an increase in wage and decrease in aid results in less going to the bank. Who is going to work for a better job, if they can just keep getting their free aid and make more money?

they qualify for college just they wouldn’t get accepted because the institution is racist

Stop asking about physical characteristics on the application, and even if some old white racists is in charge of it, they won’t know. Acception is based on merits, if certain communities are denied more often because they do not meet the merit based requirments, we need to look at the way underfunded primary education/childhood not the university.

With out the help the kids will have to potentially put their family at risk with huge loans.

That’s a problem across all races, not just blacks or disadvantaged one. My parents didn’t even qualify for the the family loans because their income was too low, yet I didn’t qualify for any income based scholarships, my skin was the wrong color for those ones. Just got some financial aid, a mountain of debt and a few small merit based scholarships.

Please explain to me why a group of people gets a specific scholarship made for them soley based on their skin color?

No point fighting. Just remember its the same people that don’t understand a scholarship only for “people of color” is by definition racist. If a “white people” only scholarship is racist so is the one for people of color.

The term, originally spelled “thick,” dates back to the 90s and was used in black culture in reference to women, Dictionary.com says.

Can we stop this “black culture” bull shit too? At this point, it’s just American culture. Why are we segregatting a questionably sexist term now?

Stop categorizing every little thing as “black” or “white”. An American started the term for a specific purpose, and Americans still use it today with a broader application.

Re-reading my comment, I see what happened. I didn’t specify “RCS on iOS…”, assuming it would be implied based on the thread topic. I have made the edits.

From the way article is worded, I thought maybe they finally added schedule send for imessages, but somehow excluded it from RCS messages.

“RCS chats are still missing many features Apple bakes in for iMessage conversations, like being able to schedule messages to send later”

Pizza the Hut!

I do enjoy his videos. Apparently he working on the audacity overhaul too. Haven’t heard (or looked) at it a few years. Last I head was the freakout when the dared to add some basic telemetry to figure how people actually used the software.

That still works? I’ll have to look in it. Thanks.

Thanks for the info. I adjusted that section a bit, probably should more effort into the edit. Will read up on it some more in near future.

My point about the simplicity of using the “stock*” messesing app is still relevant for non-tech people. Grandpa doesn’t want 6 different messesging apps. The easy phone number/pre-installed/near-universal/moslty cross-platform nature of them is a huge advanatge. Only downside, it has a pricy subscription called “the phone bill”.

*i say stock in this case to pretty much include any app that uses your phone number and accepts sms/mms from another phone. For most people, thatll be the stock message app their phone comes with.

Ugreen sells a dual adapter. I’m sure other make one too. Don’t choose, just have both.

https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Magnetic-Adapter-Charger-Charging/dp/B0CJXWJ596/

As for flimsy, unless you get apple’s piece of crap, they are resonably durable. Headphone cables were never know for duarbilty either.

Lastly, just leave the adapter plugged into your headphones or aux cable.

I’ll agree, they are awkward and I do miss my headphone port, but the solution work around is not that deep.

If your on desktop, here’s some unsolicited advice. If you’re on mobile, good luck…I’ve got nothing.

LPT: use unlock origin’s element removedr to block any unwanted sections of youtube mixed into your feed.

“Premium” gone, “Shorts” gone, “Trending” gone, “Pay to watch” gone, “News” gone, “Survay” gone

LPT2: set a YouTube bookmark to go straight to your subscription page. This way you see the new videos you are most likely to care about first. No need to “hit the bell” and rely on notifications. When I’m caught up there, I’ll head over to home feed to see if there’s anything intresting.

LPT3: get the extention “Enhancer for YouTube”. There’s a ton of settings to basically set your playback defaults the way you like. I change the toolbar setting to " showin video playback bar" and auto expand" to get the various buttons to show up like the default ones. (The names of those setting is by memory).

“Unhook” is also good one for clearing out junk.

Lastly “DeArrow”, from the maker of SponsorBlock. This one crowd sources new video titles with the goal of replacing clickbait for an actual description of the video.

The nice thing about SMS is its on everyone’s phone by default.

No apps to download and no accounts to make. Adding someone is a simple 9 digit number.

imessage bridged the gap between bacsic SMS and feature-rich messages. With them both being in one app and handled automatically, it is very convenient to use. While the extra features are limited to apple phones, you can use imessage to universally message any other phone.

Google made a their own thing, RCS, to compete with imessage. They made it an open RCS is a standard and worked that works with carriers to make it so any phone could use it. it took Apple 7 years since release to add support.

Finally, you can text pretty much anyone with a smart phone a message with the “extra features” without hassle.

You can’t schedule RCS messages on ios?

A basic features that has been around since the beginning of time is not included?
